Many saturated fats are “solid” fats that you can see, such as the fat in meat. Other sources of saturated fats include high-fat cheeses, high-fat cuts of meat, butter, Ice cream, palm and coconut oils, etc..

Trans fats, or trans-unsaturated fatty acids, trans fatty acids, are a type of unsaturated fats that are uncommon in nature.

Trans fat is simply liquid oils turned into solid fats during food processing. There is also a small amount of trans fat that occurs naturally in some meat and dairy products, but those found in processed foods tend to be the most harmful to your health.

Adipose tissue

In animals, adipose, or fatty tissue with adipose cells is the body’s means of storing fat derived from the diet and from liver metabolism.

Under stress conditions, adipose cells degrade their stored fat to supply fatty acids and also glycerol.

These metabolic activities are regulated by several hormones (e.g., insulin, glucagon and epinephrine).

Metabolic Basis for Living

Metabolic pathways can lead to a more complex structure from a simpler structure (for example, acetic acid becomes cholesterol) or lead to a simpler structure from a complex structure (for example, glucose becomes lactic acid in our skeletal muscle).

The former cases are called biosynthetic pathways or anabolic pathways. The latter constitute degradation and hence are called catabolic pathways.
